I think a much better method would be to switch consoles. Then you can run
"ps aux" and kill off the bash process that coresponds to the telnet
session. If you wanted to kill the whole session, kill off the bash
process that coresponds. If you guess wrong, you of course kill off
another console. But all should regenterate nicely.
